Rating: - STILL CUT! FROM A WHO FAN
Great concert, cool bonus, the only thing why I'm giving 4 stars is that it is still shamelessly cut If you'd like more Who concerts go to: http://www.stellarproducts.biz/whodvds.html or http://shop.vendio.com/ROCKnMETAL/category/139/ If you know other web sites which are selling other Who shows PLEASE WRITE their "address" in a review!!!
Rating:  - An OK concert film
I'm a Who fan, and I still get a kick out of watching and listening to them in their heyday, but I have to say that there are flaws here that make it less than stellar. The biggest problem is in the editing (as with the majority of music videos). For much of the film--way too much--the image and sound are not in sync, and the editors have filled in places with random footage of Keith or John or Pete playing some other song. It is really distracting and robs the film of its enjoyment. And the band ... Read More
Rating: - The Special Edition with its unfortunate cropping
I have a copy of the original addition and this newer special addition. The older addition has the original 16mm 4:3 film format and a much larger DTS audio file. The special addition is a cropped wide screen version that is just plain silly. Both additions use out of place stock to fill in some scenes that were missed due to empty cameras. This probably explains the reported missing songs from the set, they just didn't have enough film. These weird fill scenes and some shoddy camera work from ... Read More
Rating: - Could be better!
My review is of the DVD, not the band's performance.
Here are the problems with the Special Edition:
(1) "Overture", "It's a Boy", "Christmas" and "Go to the Mirror" are truncated. Disconcerting to say the least.
(2) "1921", "Amazing Journey" and "Sparks" are omitted from the DVD. How the hell do you have a Tommy performance with out "Amazing Journey" and "Sparks"?
(3) "Substitute" and "Naked Eye" are set aside as bonus tracks. Since these are the ... Read More
Rating:  - At The Top Of Their Game
If you're looking for a concert video that captures The Who at the peak of their talents, this one is it. The year is 1970. Pete Townshend still looks like himself (not that I have anything against Pete as an old fart, but, you know ...). He still had hair, and lots of it. His energy is infectious. His jumps and splits are perfectly timed. In fact, he strikes an exciting balance during this concert between The Who that was and The Who that would be. The windmill guitar strokes are eternal, of course. ... Read More
